Each time I lift one up in my garage gym it's like I'm slowly chipping away at the blubber that encapsulated my inner greek god. Whoever designed these must have had a childhood bully who grew up to become a gym owner because after buying them there is no reason to ever have a gym membership again. #sweepstakes

These dumbells are money well spent hands down. If you love to weight train at the gym then you understand variety in weighted dumbells is a absolute must. How can you breakdown those muscles if you can't start heavy and progressively go down to light weights. And to have all those dumbells in one place makes it perfect for a gym at your house.

Overall great quality! They are a type of plastic, but at least you don't have to worry about them corroding. Also, the mechanism that changes the weight size is easy to use and nice and clicky.

I was on the waiting list for these dumbbells and was so excited when I got the email. Ordered these immediately. They are amazing. So easy to use and compact. Honestly don't think I'll be going back to the gym anymore. Thank you Bowflex!

I use these at least 5x a week (with every workout I do)! My frame is 5'8, 125lbs, and my goal is to gain strength and lean muscle mass. Because these weights increase in 2.5lb increments, I'm able to successfully increase my strength because the small increments are manageable. Previously, my husband and I owned iron weights and the increments would increase by 5 or 10lbs. With smaller muscle groups, such as shoulders, I could not jump from 5lbs to 10lbs and therefore I was not seeing the progress I wanted. These are ideal! The only drawback is that they are a little cumbersome because of their size in relation to my smaller frame. Arnold presses, for instance, are a challenge due to the width of the weight. Nevertheless, I would recommend these to anyone!

Great product design, but concerned about longevity...

Easy to use, especially when taken from the Bowflex stand. Dumbbells seem a bit long when using smaller weights as they're designed to hold all the weights, however. Easy to grip and well balanced. When they arrived, the dials that allow changing the weight worked smoothly and easily, but one dial is becoming increasingly difficult to turn. If this persists, I will contact Nautilus/Bowflex.
With the pandemic as the majority of use have experienced we have gained a few extra pounds. I am 39yrs old and wanted to get back into shape without having to expose myself to the gym. Select tech 552s are easy to store and give you the right weight along with rapid/easy increase or decrease weight to get fit and into the shape you want to accomplish.

I workout with my kids in the garage using the "3 days on / 3 days off" program. These dumbbells are the latest addition to the gym and WE ALL FIGHT to use these vs. the other "typical" dumbbells...seriously! They feel great! They look great! Great balance and easy to use!! We would ABSOLUTELY purchase again!
